That being said, I'm not worried about cheeze. Let's be real, I have a Porsche with a SBC, Satin black paint with bright yellow checkered striping and a wing big enough to make a Honda jealous. I'm waaaaay past cheezy

Thanks!

Neighbors... who cares? Just kidding... I keep my foot out of it while in the neighborhood.

I took the video before the truck was warmed up so it was at a fast idle. When warm the cam is pretty prominant and it's not as loud. It's actually fairly quiet in the cab.

I have purple hornie header mufflers with no tail pipes on my '69 SS Camaro. The wife and I really like the way it sounds... true to it's era. I put turnouts at the end of the muffler that help to direct the exhaust down and out to the side. Sorry, no audio clip..

Here's a short video of her idling at 1000rpms. The afterburners are rated to flow well, and were cheap, however I'm not digging the sound. Would I loose much power ditching the X for straight duals? Or even purple hornies right on the headers?
